William Shew (1820-1903) made a name for himself as a Daguerrotype portrait artist in the United States. He maintained a mobile studio in a wagon that he called his "Daguerrotype Saloon."
Shew however is making a game fight against death and the physician said Tuesday morning that he might be able to pull through.
Shew is a man of a wonderful constitution and this fact will play a great part in his battle for life.
The tragedy appeared to rouse the crowd from what appeared a drunk-inspired somnambulism, and all began caring for the wounded man. When a physician was called, it was found that one of the bullets had passed through his neck and buried itself in a wall of the saloon.
